The Engagement Pyramid: Six Levels of Connecting People and Social Change What does it mean to "engage people"? Gideon Rosenblatt talks through six different levels of engagement people can have with your organization, in an article reprinted from Groundwire. Reprinted with permission from Groundwire. One of the things Groundwire does is help environmental organizations build better strategies for engaging people. Civic engagement can mean a lot of different things though – from the casual forwarding of a friend’s email to deep involvement on a board of directors. The most effective social change organizations understand how to wield their portfolio of engagement tactics in Zen-like fashion; knowing just what kind of touch is called for to influence the outcomes of a particular decision. At Groundwire, they use a framework for mapping these different levels of engagement that they call an “Engagement Pyramid.” The upper levels of our Engagement Pyramid entail a much deeper level of engagement than is typical of most approaches to online activism.
